Joby GorillaPod Hybrid

If you have a smaller camera and keep finding yourself in situations where you need to stabilize your camera or even want to be in the photos yourself, this is the tripod for you. The standout feature here is the fully adjustable legs. You can wrap the legs around a small branch or a chair leg and achieve the stability of a tripod standing on the ground. It’s a really neat idea with some cool real world applications. The head has a 360 degree pan and a 90 degree tilt for further adding to the usefulness in real world situations. Joby threw in a quick-release with a bubble level to seal the deal on this unique tripod for smaller cameras. You can find this tripod on sale for $28.97-$39.95.
